[NBLUG/talk] dselect strangeness

On one of my boxes, I'm tracking (or at least *trying* to track)
Debian's Testing branch. When I went to update using dselect
today, it told me that it wanted to remove gnome-applets,
gnome-core, gnome-help, gnome-panel, and gnome-panel-data. I
hadn't asked for these or any other packages to be removed and
dselect didn't show any conflicts related to these packages, so
I'm wondering why dselect wants to remove them.

Is anyone else tracking Debian Testing and has this happened to
you? Could this be related to Gnome2? Has it arrived in Testing,
yet? Unfortunately, dselect isn't giving me the names of the 46
packages that it does want to upgrade, so I can't see if any of
them are Gnome-related.

I'll check the Debian list archives and see if I can dig up any
info there.

Thanks,

A.
